| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 1997 audi a4 has experienced almost non braking in cold/wet conditions. when brakes are initially applied during these conditions there is almost zero braking for 50 feet at 35 mph or less. i have come very close to rear ending a few cars that cut in front of you. i have contacted audi of america and there response was that no known poor braking condition exists when brakes are cold/wet. yet there is a news bulletin on audi's own european web site indicating that there is a problem with brakes when wet. also many readers on the www.a4.org web site here in the us have been complaining for a long time. i hope that you would please look into this matter as a fatality can exist in this case. i have owned many us/european/japanese vehicles and never experienced such poor wet braking! |
